Memory for people and their relationships, along with memory for social language and
social behaviors, constitutes a specific type of semantic memory termed social knowledge …

This chapter reviews the contribution of electromagnetic measures, mostly event-related
potentials (ERPs), to our understanding of the time course of face processing in the normal …

As virtual humans approach photorealistic perfection, they risk making real humans
uncomfortable. This intriguing phenomenon, known as the uncanny valley, is well known but …

Humans can recollect past events in details (recollection) and/or know that an object,
person, or place has been encountered before (familiarity). During the last two decades …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have identified spatially distinct face-
selective regions in human cortex. These regions have been linked together to form the …

Electrophysiological recordings on the human scalp provide a wealth of information about
the temporal dynamics and nature of face perception at a global level of brain organization …

A number of human brain areas showing a larger response to faces than to objects from
different categories, or to scrambled faces, have been identified in neuroimaging studies …

Abstract fMRI studies have reported three regions in human ventral visual cortex that
respond selectively to faces: the occipital face area (OFA), the fusiform face area (FFA), and …

Extensive research has supported the existence of a specialized face-processing network
that is distinct from the visual processing areas used for general object recognition. The …

Human neuroimaging studies have identified a network of distinct face-selective regions in
the ventral occipito-temporal cortex (VOTC), with a right hemispheric dominance. To date …
